Big Dave Missions (Blacksmith)

Big Dave Mission #1: Deserter

This mission is available in Sequence 8 after completing the Norris mission "Raw Materials". Dave will be located in John's Town in the Frontier. Approach the gang of Redcoats to trigger the mission.

--OBJECTIVE: HELP THE STRANGER

Run up to the gang of Redcoats and use a running kill to trigger a fight. Use counters on all of the Redcoats to eliminate them until a QTE happens. When prompted, shoot the Redcoat to complete the mission.

Once that's done, a cutscene will show Connor recruiting Big Dave and adding more new crafting abilities for the Homestead. MISSION COMPLETE.

Big Dave Mission #2: The Proper Tools

This mission is available in Sequence 9 after completing "Deserter". Approach Dave at his shop on the Homestead to trigger the mission.

--OBJECTIVE: FIND BOTH PIECES OF DAVE'S NEW HAMMER IN NEW YORK

Time to spend some cash! Fast Travel over to the Faulkner and then fast travel to New York. Approach one of the two General Stores and buy the following two items: ebony hammer handle and the hardened steel hammer head. With the tool in hand, fast travel back to the Homestead and give the tools to Dave to complete the mission.

Completing the mission adds more new Crafting abilities for the Homestead. MISSION COMPLETE.

Dave Mission #3: An Eye for Trouble

This mission is available at the Homestead after completing "The Wedding". Approach Dave and Oliver at the back of the inn to trigger the mission.

--OBJECTIVE: CHASE THE SCOUT/RETURN TO BIG DAVE AND DEAL WITH THE FIRST SCOUT

The objective here is to chase after the running scout on foot and then on horseback. Rather than do all that, immediately bust out the Pistol and just shoot the guy and save yourself all that trouble. Once that's done, speak to Dave to complete the mission.

Completing the mission adds another set of Crafting abilities for the Homestead. MISSION COMPLETE.

Dave Mission #4: The Comeback

This mission is available at the Homestead in Sequence 10 after completing "Manor Mysteries". Approach the Homesteaders in front of Dave's house to trigger the mission.

--OBJECTIVE: FOLLOW BIG DAVE/READY AN AMBUSH FOR THE BRITISH PLATOON

Follow Dave for a brief chat and then get ready for a fight. Take the red keg and place it on the road where the Redcoats will emerge from. Stand as far back and target the red keg with the Pistol and wait for the Recoats to walk near it.

When they march past the red keg, shoot it to eliminate the lot of them. Don't fight any survivors and, instead, let the Homesteaders take care of them for you. Reload the pistol and get another red keg and place it in the same place. Repeat the tactic for the second wave of soldiers and the mission is complete.

Completing the final Dave mission opens up the last of his crafting abilities for the Homestead. MISSION COMPLETE.
